Eddie Hall made it look easy as he ran through a 27–fight veteran in his MMA debut on Saturday night.
‘The Beast’ originally called to face Mariusz Pudzianowski after winning a bizarre 2vs1 bout last June.
Almost one year later, Eddie Hall obliterated the five-time World’s Strongest Man in 30 seconds at KSW 105.
Pudzianowski was holding the back of his head after being hammered with ground strikes during his third consecutive knockout loss, which he took to social media to protest after heading backstage at PreZero Arena in Gliwice, Poland.
Mariusz Pudzianowski claims he was KO’d by illegal shots
Pudzianowski used his Instagram story to react to Hall knocking him out inside one minute.
The 48-year-old claimed Hall’s win resulted from several illegal shots to the back of his head.
“I lost!!! 5 hammers to the back of the head were enough and I blacked out,” Pudzianowski wrote in Polish.
“A hit to the back of the head was enough!!!”
Hall didn’t address the cheating allegations when he posted on social media after his MMA debut.
“First MMA bout completed,” he wrote alongside fight footage on Instagram.
“Thank you to @pudzianofficial and @ksw_mma for the privilege. I’ll be back.”
Eddie Hall vs Mariusz Pudzianowski 2?
Hall named Pudzianowski as his ideal next opponent immediately after their fight.
“Maybe Mariusz will do the rematch with two minutes rounds,” he said.
“I’ve got no aspirations to be number one in KSW. That’s just not for me.
“I want to come and have fun. I want to fight my heroes. I want to fight the freaks of the world.”
Pudzianowski made an MMA retirement admission ahead of his 600lb ‘World’s Strongest Fight’ with Hall.
After losing in such a devastating fashion, the Polish heavyweight was not interested in discussing a rematch.
“I’m not thinking about the future,” Pudzianowski admitted.
“I turned 48, almost 49. The sport is for young people.
“What’s next? I don’t know.”
